We enjoy a spot of stroking

We really wanted to be on the crew team at school, but our mum wouldn't let us.

"I don't think so," she said. "Have you not seen those girls? They used to be so pretty, and now they have such enormous shoulders!"

Actually, we wanted to be the coxswain (even though we were without question much too tall to be stuffed in the bow) as it was quite apparent that they got all of the glory and none of the unpleasant musculature while having the opportunity to enjoy whiling away the hours in the company of extremely strapping posh chaps.

But that doesn't mean that we no longer enjoy a spot of stroking. Do come and join us and our wee shoulders down at the bank of the Thames tomorrow afternoon at quarter past five. We shall shiver and watch the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, swigging whiskey from a flask and thinking wistfully of what might have been...
